[native monolith]

This is why you’re the best

[violet tendon]

it reminds me of Vermintide somewhat.

That has a lot more classes than DRG and they're largely distinguished by their ult ability (at least until you unlock more of their skill trees)

[olive hound]

Dwarf with mini flamethrowers in the wrist

DUAL FLAMETHROWERS 🔥 🔥

[fringe narwhal]

Baby flammenwerfers

[real tangle]

Maybe two subclasses
One focused around tech and robotics
The other focused around taming Hoxxes wildlife
Engineer’s Grandpa and Beastmaster

[visual latch]

Good things come to those who wait...!

[real tangle]

As you all may have noticed
I’m the summoner guy
Glyphid Grunt bots would be awesome
Really want a good summoner class to fight off the hordes of enemies, make the summoner have support based weapons instead of damage based weaponry
It would be cool to have a class focused around buffing their summons to keep them active instead of just summoning some units and running away

[median sleet]

a gun that shoots shredders

[real tangle]

Yes

[olive hound]

Unreal Tournament style?

YES!

[fringe narwhal]

Gun that shoots more gun

[native monolith]

Arsonist class

Can inhale propane tanks like a stim to heal

[native monolith]

”these corespawn might have wiped the glyphids, but I don’t think they’ve fought ones either chainsaws yet, ahahhahaha!”

[rich river]

is this rock and stone?

[native monolith]

Rogue and core!

[cinder eagle]

1 and a half hour til' steam sale.

[cinder eagle]

[wheat loom]

[wicked anvil]

[glossy heath]

Is there any information from the streams?

[tall plume]

nothing new so far

[native monolith]

A few tid bits here and there. Nothing of major note though

[earnest fulcrum]

Gun that shoots a gun, which shoots a gun, which shoots a shredder, which explodes into every grenade in the game

And it’s rate of fire is like 100 shots per sec

The gun name is just “The Crasher”

[gloomy sinew]

Sounds like smth a Texan Engineer'd use.
||If gun don't work... Use more gun.
-# —Dell Conagher, Team Fortress 2||

[real tangle]

Yes!
“Corespawn may be able to kill the Glyphids and destroy a lot of local wildlife. But these aren’t local…”
Chainsaw Revving as Glyphid Droids exit the shadows in swarms

[upbeat tangle]

Yesss… really hoping for glyphid droids

Glyphid with a minigun attached to his back

His name is Fraank

[real tangle]

Maybe not minigun
I’m thinking Scout’s rifle at best on a Glyphid Bot, but even then probably weaker
That would be the spitter equivalent
Chainsaw I could see because it’s melee
Melee Swarmers are always fun, and since the Glyphid Droids wouldn’t have mouths
They’d need chainsaws or blades to attack with

[vast carbon]

Will there be mechanics from Survivors in the RC? Like getting an overclock after upgrading weapon a number of times or artifacts/items?

[olive hound]

More % mining speed from upgrades would be handy too

[native monolith]

They’re still thinking about how OCs are gonna work

But we do know some might just become actual guns

[steel hearth]

Just rewatched the oth teaser and it looks like each digsite will have a name above the entrance, and at present it seems to be using the same naming lists as drg's randomly generated mission names
(The facility in the teaser is called "Worthy Keep")

Which means it might be possible to come across a permanent digsite named "Driller's Womb", for example, which is way funnier than a temporary mission named that

And also seems like something Dwarven Resources should have objected to XD

[mental flint]

There should be a giant enemy spider as a boss, no further questions needed

[barren stone]

As someone with arachnophobia

Yes

[mental flint]

Thats the point

Its supposed to be scary

[daring hill]

Man I hope we get to see more characters in 3D than just dwarves

I know GSG is heavily against the idea of any lore or real story for some reason but I think an easy vehicle for that would just be some intro cinematic on game launch

Wouldn't impact things ingame and would be easily skippable

[vast carbon]

As far as I know, RC is a game about a DRG's special forces unit and it doesn't necessarily have to consist only of dwarves. Most likely it will be only them but there is a chance )

[pure vessel]

Keeping it simple is the way to go

[pure vessel]

Dwarves only.

[daring hill]

Yeah, I just really hope to see mission control (or the mission control equivalent if there's a different character for that role) in 3D

[vast carbon]

Will customization options be added? (cloaks, tattoos, etc.)

[barren stone]

Id be down for other species

[daring hill]

i hope they do go for armor customization. they made the choice to go for beard over armor for DRG pretty early on, so it seems only natural to go the other direction for RC

[wheat pewter]

you forgot to mention the half-dwarf half-elf character

[vast carbon]

will we have anything like xenofungus? Love this shroom )

[native monolith]

the drg biomes will make a semi appearance in rogue core

itll start as a drg biome and then slowly transition into more of a "core biome" as you go through stages

so, there is a non zero chance we will have mushroom

[vast carbon]

I'm talking about that rare one. BIG one

[native monolith]

i would still imagine so because its a part of the palette

[vast carbon]

Maybe... Maybe

[real tangle]

Which one?

I’m not familiar with a giant rare fungus

[tall plume]

THE xenofungus

#drg-gallery message

this one

[native monolith]

It’s always fun to find them

[tall plume]

haven't found one in a long time now

must be at least 500h since the last I saw

[native monolith]

I get a large amount of fungus bogs but it’s also been a while for me

[real tangle]

Not sure I’ve ever seen it

[zenith rock]

Imagine joining forces with gnomes and goblins

No elves tho

[barren stone]

Im down

[earnest fulcrum]

What’s the Elvin slur

[gloomy sinew]

• leaf lover
• knife-ears
• leaf foddler
• tree hugger
• hippy
• etc.

[real tangle]

Goblins would go hard
A class variant for each of them
Concept could be cool (not feasible in DRG base game, but maybe a spinoff like Rogue Core)

[tropic talon]

Or 2 new competitor companies for new enemies. Goblin Co. and Gnome Inc.

[wraith jay]

has there been any news on release date or even early access or betas?

[olive narwhal]

Pins

[wraith jay]

tyy

[stiff jacinth]

Couldnt Knife Ear also refer to Dwarves themselves, as well as other fantasy creatures like Goblins?

[tropic talon]

Depends on the dwarf fantasy, dwarves dont always have pointed ears. In DRG's case, they do have pointed ears but, the distinction would be how long it is, with the dwarves having a more triangle and short point while a 'knife-ear' would be long like a knife.
Dwarves would happily call either an elf and a goblin a knife-ear.

[gloomy sinew]

Aye, fair enough.

-# —Tavish Finnegan Degroot, 2017(?)

[gloomy sinew]

Fair point.

[median yoke]

I wonder the the reclaimers would be more "serious" type than the miners, like having maybe a more serious tone to them

[forest rain]

Likely not considering their mercs with lax rules.

But despite that, their occassional lack of proffesionalism is made up for with their competancy.

[olive narwhal]

Well they are considered the equivalent of special ops so they will be more serious than the combat miners

We should be getting a below the decks on the reclaimers in particular in the coming weeks/months if the newsletter is to be believed

[tall plume]

it's been pretty much confirmed that this will be the case, yeah

[median sleet]

They are so serious, they only burp 1x every mission.

[earnest jay]

nervous long burp

[median yoke]

woa.

[frank helm]

I just hope they diversify the personality of the characters

I wish in drg gunner would act noticably different than the scout

[tall plume]

the lack of dwarf's personnality work in the favour of the highly customizable character in DRG though

[frank helm]

Hm, I'd probably disagree. I think it's a good point that someone with a christmas tree as hat and a goofy mustache probably wouldn't sound depressed and stirn,
But i think it ot would speak more to the class fantasy if gunner would be more down to earth and eager to kill and the scout a bit of a hyperactive scaredy pants

[median sleet]

I hope so too, maybe even with different voice actors. But at the same time GSG hasn't shown much interest in wanting to do that. So I assume it won't happen

[stoic goblet]

No fun in that, especially given the enemy designs

[pure vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/bruh-gif-24935909

[pine charm]

Rogue Core is the greatest opportunity GSG has to introduce female dwarves into the DRG universe

[native monolith]

I like to think you do actually play as female dwarves, there’s just no noticeable difference in appearance

[pastel basin]

Isn't that the canonical dwarf lore?

That the reason you "never see" female dwarves is because they're indistinguishable from men?

[median sleet]

No, that's what Gimli says in LOTR. AFAIK DRG has no official canon on female dwarf appearance. Everything is headcanon.

[tall plume]

that's just headcanon

[fringe narwhal]

They have even bigger beards than the men ofc

[tall plume]

coming from not LOTR but terry prattchet

[pastel basin]

Fair, aware this is also true in DnD as well which I where I pulled it from.

[tall plume]

Gimli says no such thing. Dwarves in LOTR are pretty secret when it comes to their culture, to the point their khuzdul names are actually secrets shared to absolutely no strangers

there's only Aragorn talking about how they have beards, which is never confirmed

(in the movies)

[median sleet]

True, just rewatched the clip, he just says they're alike in voice and appearance

[median sleet]

TIL

[tall plume]

the movies do the dwarves so dirty

even the Bilbo ones

though it is a bit better

[native monolith]

We almost got to see dwarf civilization

Then they got eaten

[median sleet]

I liked how the movies gave the dwarves traveling with Bilbo a lot more character compared to the book

[tall plume]

yeah

[native monolith]

The talk of the hobbit reminds me of this video
https://youtu.be/pOzSoOr4mt0?si=2Qx1NRgu-8wBfcQI

[rancid minnow]

is rogue core out yet

[verbal wolf]

No.

[tall plume]

i saw that

[rancid minnow]

nuh uh

its not my fault i cant use my silly little emojis

[vast carbon]

Will there be any weird/funny weapons? If possible, add a metal band kit (guitar, bass, drumsticks, etc.)

[twilit token]

the only confirmed melee weapon is the pickaxe, so probably no band-themed weapons

[vast carbon]

They don't have to be melee weapons. Maybe drumsticks that you throw like kunai, or a guitar that electrifies the area around you

[native monolith]

I doubt it, there might be wacky weapons but they’ll most likely be similar to things like the Colette

Pretty goofy but still based around high tech stuff

[pure vessel]

Maybe? Right now they're pretty serious.

[pure vessel]

Yeah this is a good ballpark

[pure vessel]

We may have silly weapons like collette, but not stuff like instruments

[vast carbon]

(((

[proud kayak]

Honestly I wouldn't say collette is a particularly silly weapon anyway, sure it's a funny idea to be using basically a microwave to kill your enemies but in actual design it doesn't look too goofy to me or anything.

[native monolith]

Goofy as in, when you really think about it, R&D put a focusing lens on a microwave they took the door off of

But it’s still a cool high tech weapon

[proud kayak]

In that sense yes which is what I referenced but at the same time using radiation as a weapon isn't new, salted nuclear bombs were designed just for that.

And also the massive shockwave and drastic temperature increase but yeah a salted one is designed for a lasting radiation effect.

[bleak beacon]

There's a microwave weapon called ADS (Active Denial System) its used for crowd control, sometimes for protests. It directs a type of short wave microwave that only works on the surface of the skin. It feels likes pulses of standing under dessert sun but times 10.

[proud kayak]

Yeah the weapon is goofy in the terms of you're using a microwave as a ranged weapon but it isn't a concept that's totally unheard of

[bleak beacon]

Yeah it's goofy, but scarily real

[glossy heath]

Given the current situation, are there any changes to the timing of the closed test? It is still planned for Q2?

[tall plume]

nothing new so far

[vast carbon]

Mb some type of cursed/corrupted weapon, which will be very rare, have increased stats and give debuffs (less health, shields, etc.)

maybe it will even be a replacement for overclocks

like, the core managed to get its hands on everything that was left after the blackout

[frank helm]

I hope they add a core that gets kinda rogue

[native monolith]

But will it be rouge?

[gloomy sinew]

This core seems pretty rogue tbh

[severe nymph]

I really hope whenever the game comes out we get more lore and stuff, drg had alot of cool stuff I wish they'd go more in depth on

[tall plume]

it's going to take the same approach as DRG does

[severe nymph]

Makes sense

Drg isn't very focused on its lore

What's there is mostly just left in the open

[thin apex]

I wonder if r&d wants the core stones to manipulate them and force them to create rifts on demand so dwarves can get to the depths more easily

Since arguably core stones for now don't have any other power or utility

Makes me wonder though if we can actually use them as transport however

Which goes to the other point: Can core stones create rifts big enough for things like Corespawn Praetorians whose name I forgot to get through?

Oh Clamorheads that's what they were called I forgot

[pure vessel]

Don't get your hopes up

[latent sparrow]

The lore is

We fight for rock and stone

[wheat pewter]

nope, not this time

you bastard

[hollow bear]

Me getting ready to edit a wiki page for the Ramrod toilets

[pure vessel]

Fair enough

[royal axle]

What did GSG mean when they only gave the elite squad toilets?

What did GSG mean by this

[pure vessel]

You don't get paid for shitting during work hours.

[hollow bear]

What Anders said + drg has a toilet, the Sludge Pump

[karmic raven]

Mission control gets 100 credits, i get 10 credits, that's why i poop on company time

[pure vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/youre-fired-vince-mc-mahon-wwe-wwf-kurt-angle-gif-15475896

Stealing from the company I see

[karmic raven]

getting sent out the trash shoot

https://tenor.com/view/among-us-ejected-sus-amogus-gif-26234688

[pure vessel]

reprocessed into beer

[native monolith]

BioBeer™️

[karmic raven]

finally, a beer that is worse than a Leaf Lovers

[raven wharf]

They aren’t expendable clones and get food.

[violet tendon]

Jetty Boot replaced by one of those urinal arcade games

[glossy heath]

Regarding food, I think that all the company-certified beer contains all the necessary nutrients, which would explain the presence of only beer in the bar's assortment, and during the mission, to cheer someone up, we pour them something, but it must be some special beer. And the food that is in the lobby is just to diversify the diet.

[latent sparrow]

Big lore update

[quartz ice]

Is rogue core a new game or update for drg?

[delicate flax]

New game

read pin

[pure vessel]

New game. Spinoff

[surreal meteor]

also I feel like hiding nutrients in the beer is a pretty clever way to reduce alcohol absorption

eating before or as you eat tends to reduce how much alcohol you absorb and how drunk you get

[finite laurel]

It's proper medieval beer, liquid bread

What if the reclaimers are staunchly sober and don't touch beer

[twilit token]

they wouldn't be dwarves then, now would they?

[latent sparrow]

Beer lore when?

[merry shell]

what's the latest news on rogue core?

[neat acorn]

it's being worked on

follow me for more rogue core updates

(check pins, everything is there)

[proud kayak]

I would just recommend checking pins for announcements instead of just asking people

[tall plume]

yeah, I'm pretty much putting every big news in the pin

[hybrid mist]

Are the closed alpha still happening in Q2 of this year ?

[wheat pewter]

so far yes

[median sleet]

Yes, but they decided I should be the only person granted access since I'll be playing the game for 58 hours/day. No others needed

[vast carbon]

In theory, if it is impossible to bring new weapons into the zone, then reclaimers should find more mining equipment to use as weapons.

[civic drift]

There's also a sandwich that the dwarves often mention

[rich mauve]

If someone has diarrhea, I hope it's not just a glass of draft beer 😨

[thin apex]

Can't wait to have a weapon similar to Ultrakill's jackhammer

[fringe narwhal]

Where do you think gut wrecker comes from

[cerulean shuttle]

space

[frank helm]

What bribe do i have to give who to join the closed alpha?

[wheat pewter]

not sure if there are any bribes you can give, however, there is a sacrifice you can make, by that I mean like those cult goat sacrifices, except if you did that with lootbugs

if your voice is heard your chances of getting picked for the closed alpha are sure to increase by a full 0.5%

[orchid berry]

arent lootbugs a protected species on earth

[wheat pewter]

what

they aren't on earth

[hollow bear]

That's planet Girth, I think you misheard it

[orchid berry]

ah, my bad

[median sleet]

I know of one in the GSG office

[wheat pewter]

oh my god, that is JUST a conspiracy theory propagated by GSG to distract you from the big picture

[orchid berry]

oh my god

GSG wiped out the lootbug population on earth and now theyre covering it up

[tall plume]

https://tenor.com/view/good-clapping-sarcastic-gif-14772054

[wheat pewter]

that's exactly what they want YOU to think, you're asking the WRONG questions and the other discord mods are in kahoots

[orchid berry]

but how do I know if YOU'RE not in kahoots and is feeding me FALSE information

[wheat pewter]

that's true, you can't trust me, but I am your best hope, I have SEEN what they do in there and have successfully ESCAPED

all will be revealed on the april first, that way in case I am prospectuted I can call it a parody

it is a tradegy

[desert sinew]

Hey ppl 👋 , any news on rogue core recently?

[wheat pewter]

RC Q&A stream coming up soon

[manic sleet]

Today?

[wheat pewter]

tuesday

[orchid berry]

Tosday

[surreal trellis]

I have a question, Is roge core a DRG update or is it going to be a separate new game?

[late scarab]

New game

[surreal trellis]

https://tenor.com/view/an-emoji-disintegrating-in-pain-gif-22507163

[late scarab]

Gonna be fire

It would be really funny if the new corespawn guys were just extremely deformed elves that went underground. Similar to drows from dungeons and dragons

Would make shooting them at least 10x more satisfying

[tall plume]

read the pinned messages for info

[vague wren]

big minerals do NOT want you to learn this trick, millions will be in shambles.

[ocean cave]

will there be steve in this new game too?

[tall plume]

no

[ocean cave]

;-;

[ocean cave]

can i be a bata tester??

trust me i have weird luck when it coems to breaking games
jokes aside, is there even a bata tester thing? like at all?

[steel swan]

there won't be steeve but maybe there might be a tamed corespawn with a different name, who knows

[ocean cave]

ooo

ill call it bob

or bobby

[vestal plank]

Protected species? best not catch any knife-ears protecting any creature.

[ocean cave]

is there anything about the dwarfs classes yet?

[late scarab]

Yeah there’s like 5 rn, but I think they’re subject to change

[ocean cave]

5??

strange..

[olive narwhal]

With potential for more later

Since atleast atm the classes are mostly defined by their ability Since weapons and such are not fixed to a class

Such as slicers slicing implement and falconeers drone

Theres a google doc in the pins with current information

[olive narwhal]

Atleast more so than drg as far as weapons and classes go

[civic drift]

Weren't there like 7 leaked in the trailer accidentally?

Or did I miscount

[native monolith]

There are 5 classes known, 2 of which have been shown

[civic drift]

Ah mb

[olive hound]

Are any plans to make the difficulty modular?

[civic drift]

Like, the further u go the harder it gets?

[olive hound]

Like more modifiers to a mission (similar to haz5+ but whit more stats to change)

[civic drift]

If it's a rogue lite there definitely has to be

[native monolith]

It’s a roguelike, so yeah probably (along with normal rogue like difficulty scaling)

[civic drift]

Especially considering it's gsg making it

[olive hound]

DRG got it pretty late, my question is mostly if release RC gonna have something similar.

[civic drift]

I'd assume we're gonna get a pretty well made released product

I'd assume so

When it's up to them

[native monolith]

Hazard level has been in for a long time

[civic drift]

But there'd be no reason not to

[civic drift]

I'm assuming they mean 5+

[olive hound]

Ah yes, but that's just normal difficulty setting for a mission.

I mean something like.
Enemy health, variety, numbers, damage, range, movement speed.

[native monolith]

Ah

[olive hound]

Or Dwarf stats

[native monolith]

For that, maybe

We don’t really know

[civic drift]

I don't see why not

If it's not a part of the released version it'll probably be added later on

[olive hound]

Going from scary facility with dangerous aliens to a Doom like experiences (lots of enemy, low health) sounds pretty nice.

[civic drift]

That's my guess at least

I dunno, the trailer showed ur typical spread of enemies

Smol, beeg and flying variants

[native monolith]

The combat already looks like it has a different feel

[civic drift]

It's gonna be slightly different obviously

And ur gonna start off weaker than drg dwarves I'm assuming

But the further u go the stronger u get

[native monolith]

The main thing I’m seeing is the disruptive enemies are a lot more… disruptive

In drg the solution for almost all of them has just been to shoot them first

Doesn’t seem like that’ll be as easy of an option in rogue core

[civic drift]

It's gonna be a blast if done right which I don't see why it wouldn't be

It's fair to assume the price tag is the same as drg yeah?

[native monolith]

“Too early to say but priced around DRG is what we assume”

[civic drift]

Hence why I said fair to assume

[native monolith]

Someone said that but I forgot who

What do you guys think about the corestone event getting another 1-2 rogue core enemies after rogue core releases? I feel like it would help fix some of the events problems if scorchers were in it for example

[olive narwhal]

Would have adjust the crawlers to compensate

Cause frankly most people don't wanna leave ziplines atm if they can help it

[native monolith]

That’s my issue with the event

It’s so easy to cheese

[civic drift]

It has been quite a while since the season started

[olive narwhal]

Its not hard to do with out ziplines either

[civic drift]

It just gets bad when there's numerous of them without ziplines

Really bad

They're fast, tanky

[native monolith]

Zip lines, cryo, and engi secondaries sweep it really easily in my experiences

[olive narwhal]

Like variance could definitely help the event

[native monolith]

I think it’s mainly because crawlers aren’t really a swarmy enemy

[civic drift]

Maybe we wait for s6?

[native monolith]

And then they’re the only enemy you fight so they sort of become that way

[civic drift]

S5 was kinda an introduction to to the corespawm

Kinda like a first wave type thing

It should get worse later on

[olive narwhal]

Well they are hit and run and after the initial spawn they are not as numerous

[civic drift]

By worse I mean more difficult

[native monolith]

Now that we know about the core (haha) enemies of rogue core I don’t really think crawlers will feel like this at all in rogue core

[civic drift]

I think they might be the same

Maybe weaker

[native monolith]

I’d imagine the corestone has like 5 times the amount you’d fight in rogue core

[civic drift]

They're the glyphid grunts of the corespawn

So like

[native monolith]

They are not

[olive narwhal]

Assuming crawlers will be mixed in with creepers and its variants which i think anders confirmed or atleast soft confirmed

[civic drift]

Are they not?

[native monolith]

Yeah

Creepers are

[civic drift]

Oh

[native monolith]

There’s not really a good comparison to them in drg

It’s like a stalker plus a grunt

[civic drift]

It is it's own species

So it makes sense

[native monolith]

Well most can be compared decently but they’re definitely an oddball with how they behave

[olive narwhal]

#rogue-core-chat message

[native monolith]

That’s why I think they’ll play differently

Cuz the creepers just run (crawl) at you while the crawlers hang back and then rush you occasionally

But it’s hard to feel that in drg because it’s only crawlers

[olive narwhal]

Well at the very least crawlers are extremely agile im not sure if the creeper variants will inherit it

[native monolith]

They look like they kinda just dash at you

We haven’t seen the slasher/guard equivalents yet but they seem like slightly beefier grunts

[olive narwhal]

But honestly if they wanna spice up the event maybe add creepers into the pool and maybe give crawlers the ability to nudge zipliners

More things to ask during the Q&A on Tuesday i guess

[native monolith]

I don’t think I’ll be able to watch it but if someone who sees this is, ask them what they think about adding more rogue core enemies to the event

[civic drift]

Oh there's a Q&A Tuesday?

[olive narwhal]

#gsg-stream-schedule message

They seem to be doing a rogue core Q&A stream once a month

Ignoring details in the newsletter and any below the decks

[civic drift]

Oh damn

Pulling an opposite of valve

Actively interacting with the community

[olive narwhal]

They just generally have some actually involved with rogue core on the stream they do interact during the normal streams as well

But you can generally get some details about rogue core even in the regular dev streams

[ocean cave]

i wonder if this new game will have magnetic rocks that pull dwarfs to them

[tall plume]

we did, it"s the corespawn crawler

[native monolith]

in the spawn menu there is a slasher and guard version of the creeper

but yes the crawlers are kind of a third variant

[thin apex]

maybe since the crawler was the first designed corespawn they thought it could be a grunt type of enemy back then

makes sense they made it a disruptive though, their high mobility and jump abilities make up for a disruptive enemy

whereas corespawn creepers don't have such things

actually I guess that'd make the crawler in rogue core similar to the glyphid stalker, a hit and run type of enemy

Still though I wonder who will be our mission control if we'd even have any

[native monolith]

He’s there but because of the barrier, he won’t be once you get past it

[steel swan]

Imagine if rogue core was created before the original drg and in season 5 they added a upper cave stone event that spawns glyphid slashers

[sturdy basin]

most boring event ever lol

[steel swan]

of course in this alternate universe this would be the first teaser of the enemies in the original deep rock galactic game

[sturdy basin]

yeah yeah i meant that the slasher isnt very unique compared to those horrors in the current event

[frank helm]

I just hooe that aiming is smoother in Rouge core, considering its a rogue like shooter

[violet tendon]

smoother than DRG? huh?

[full horizon]

I thought DRG’s aiming was always smooth

[native flume]

yeah im a little confused as to what is not smooth about DRG

has there been any word on when we can expect rogue core to release?

[steel swan]

yeah I find drg has one of the better hit registrations compared to other shooter games, even those who also run on unreal engine

[native flume]

yeah whenever i see ppl complain about unreal, i just point at DRG and satisfactory

[manic sleet]

Drg has bad frame drops at some points

[pseudo brook]

Do you think rogue core and season 6 will be released at the same time?

It'd make sense

[median sleet]

no

[pseudo brook]

😔

One can wish

[median sleet]

They'd have to work on both games at the same time + dealing with the aftermath of a game and an update releasing at the same time

[pseudo brook]

Yeah that makes sense

I'd imagine rogue core would release first though

[median sleet]

Rogue core early access will happen first, after that maybe S6

[crimson tapir]

Will rogue core be on console, I'd imagine so

[tall plume]

not for some time

probably not before 1.0 release

[cerulean shuttle]

is rogue core gonna have things that you can do stuff with

[visual latch]

What do you mean by this

[thin apex]

Probably minerals that you can collect and use for upgrades

[violet tendon]

no but it will have stuff you can do things with

[weary torrent]

What if Karl is the core

[pseudo brook]

Karl boss fight

[stark bear]

Is there a Release or Beta Date?

[tall plume]

pinned messages for roadmap

[forest rain]

Evening peeps

[daring hill]

My best guess is that the closed alpha date will be announced at the Triple-I thing next month

Certainly the best time for it

[pseudo brook]

15 bucks seems fair

I hope it lives up to the hype

[tall plume]

the 15 bucks is just a guess though

we have no confirmed information regarding the price

[pseudo brook]

Ah I see

[median sleet]

15

Thousand dollars

[fringe narwhal]

Wrong

15 bobux

[olive narwhal]

15 scrip

[stark bear]

Is the Game for Long time Play fun Like drg or something Like survivor

[tall plume]

what ?

[stark bear]

A Game for few Hours

300+ or something

With Leveling etc

[tall plume]

all the info we have is in the pinned messages

[olive hound]

It depends if the game loop is good

I have like 500+ hours in drg and approximately other 100h in a roguelike because i like the game loop.

[hollow bear]

Overclock grind is twice as long per GSG

They really want us hitting 1000 hours in Rogue Core for maximum retention

[native monolith]

It will probably be priced around DRG

I forget what the price of drg was at release but iirc it increased as they added more content

[violet tendon]

I think it was always $25?

[granite wren]

So hold on. There are permanent overclocks, but you keep the weapons only for the duration of the run?

[tall plume]

no, it was 15$ at release

30$ now, from 1.0

[granite wren]

I'm really curious about what stuff you get to keep between runs.

I guess we'll be seeing some gameplay videos when the closed alpha starts.

[tall plume]

I don't think yo keep stuff between runs beyond the currency used for meta upgrades

[granite wren]

Right, but what are the meta upgrades?

[tall plume]

like, the details ?

we have none on that front

[granite wren]

Umm, like categories. Are they like weapon, armor, nade, tool upgrades? Or weapons? Upgrades for something you may or may not find during a run. Or maybe some general stats like HP?

[thin apex]

Oh it's definitely something like that

[tall plume]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[thin apex]

Probably gonna be like the armor upgrades for the characters

Other unlockable stuff could be the other classes

I don't remember how many classes are confirmed as of now, but there'll definitely be unlockable ones

Upgrades for starting weapons, you can pretty much guess what stuff will be unlocked for upgrades if you played roguelikes

[tall plume]

5

[thin apex]

5 classes, 5 different affinities maybe

As in like

Fully upgraded dwarves with affinities that benefit their loadours

That's what I can think at least for dwarf upgrades

[violet tendon]

as I understand it the primary difference between classes is their “class ability,” basically like an Ult.

[thin apex]

Yeah

I think they all start with the same starting weapon so far

Maybe after some progression they get their own starting weapons

[median sleet]

The starting weapon was removed IIRC

[thin apex]

Ah yes

So we killing Corespawns barefisted

Just how Karl intended

[median sleet]

I meant like there is no one singular weapon each class starts with. You just get to pick your first weapon

[thin apex]

Yeah i know I'm just being silly

[median sleet]

No sillyness in this channel please

We are 110% serious

[willow flame]

Hi. When is next Rogue Core "Below Decks"?

[native monolith]

I believe it’s just a gun now

I need to update the doc about that

Should also just finish the doc… i should have time this afternoon

[olive narwhal]

Well the newsletter said start working on it in March iirc

So maybe april?

"The third big factor is the actual gameplay. How do we make sure that you, the player, can feel the difference between a Reclaimer and a regular DRG miner? It’s something to keep in mind at just about every level of detail: reload animations, enemy and weapon balance, sound design, voicelines, all that. Not that we’ve got all of that nailed down yet anyway.

I think we’ll be ready for a full ‘Character Reveal’ type of thing in a few months. I’ll hopefully start writing a Below Decks on it here in March."

[willow flame]

Thanks

[earnest fulcrum]

I wonder if the reclaimers are gonna be super serious

Like no joking around or anything

[tall plume]

there will be jokes still but yeah, the game is intended to be more serious in tone

[earnest fulcrum]

Makes sense

Management can’t lose their income source

That being hoxxes

[steel swan]

I imagine the reclaimers will be like what the star wars bad batch is to other clone troopers

[steel hearth]

Just heard the news about Gorgon
Rip in peace, whalepiper

[steel swan]

wait what happened to the Gorgon class?
don't tell me they scrapped it

[olive narwhal]

They did

First question of the Q&A dev stream

[steel swan]

rip

[hollow bear]

It's gorgone

[frigid path]

Who’s gonna make the gorgonzola now?

[olive narwhal]

More specifically seems like its potentially getting reworked

[rare quarry]

Yes, he's not exactly cut, just shelved and is not being worked on in favor of the other classes currently

[hollow bear]

Gorgonefornow

[olive narwhal]

Apparently the falconeers are pretty strong

[native monolith]

I’d imagine it’s gonna be a favorite from what we saw

Targeted drone strike but still automated enough you don’t have to worry too much about it

[fringe narwhal]

Reminds me of that guy from the Guardians of the Galaxy

[neat acorn]

falcons underground

f'd up

[fringe narwhal]

Bird down

[thin apex]

Yondu? The guy with the Yaka Arrow?

[fringe narwhal]

Yee

I forgot his name

[native monolith]

That could be a perk actually

I think the drone does melee damage

It now just follows when you look

[fringe narwhal]

Imagine our dwarf whistles or tries to

[daring hill]

Triple-I initiative is happening again on April 10th. I'm betting that's when the closed alpha announcement will happen. No better time for it
https://x.com/iii_initiative/status/1904911231498039565?t=nWC8z-CG_mOj1iNihVyXOw&s=19

Though that is VERY early in Q2

And honestly even if it's not closed alpha, the worst case scenario is still gameplay footage. 5 course meal VS 2 course meal

Hopefully raw, uncut gameplay

[willow flame]

unlikely

[tall plume]

finally got a date for the III ? nice

[daring hill]

TBH it is really the only actual guess you can make, beyond GSG announcing it at random in the following months

And rogue core is definitely coming up either way

[tall plume]

would also be weird not to have RC at the triple i when it's the second time we see RC footage in the triple i announcement

not that it's necessarily pre-announcing it, but would still be weird

I'm expecting at least a trailer

[willow flame]

I hope so

[willow flame]

this drone is probably for passing through the Greyout barrier

[median yoke]

I'm eating all the crumbs I can from rogue core footage on that preview lmao

[olive narwhal]

Recommend the dev streams for bonus crumbs

Especially the rogue core Q&A ones

[median yoke]

I ate those already "unfortunately"

[olive narwhal]

Including the most recent one?

[median yoke]

nonetheless in this one I see a drop pod on the back and I do not recognize the glove/armor that he's using in this 3 second preview... oh yeah also a big robot thingy

aaaaa I want this game so much

[median yoke]

yes

[median sleet]

Hey I saw DRG:S in there, i wonder if we're getting the 1.0 date

[olive narwhal]

Oh i got my crumbs from the triple I trailer was bonking something

[hollow bear]

We getting a trailer

Per their Instagram

[olive narwhal]

Bonus crumbs?

[neat acorn]

one nanosecond of new rogue core footage

injecting this directly into my bloodstream, thank you gsg

[median yoke]

yes

[median sleet]

There's a droppod looking thing in the back of the iii trailer

[tall plume]

or the RC reddit

[real panther]

i!i* 😂

[glossy heath]

I hope the developers will tell us how to get into testing.

[native monolith]

They will when they need testers

Which is probably soon, Q2 starts in April

[olive hound]

pray to Karl for an "early access test"🙏

[daring hill]

I still think the Triple-I thing will be the announcement of closed testing

sure they said its the trailer, but why not keep the testing thing a surprise for the event?

I hope that the either make testing reasonably easy to get into for most DRG players, or that they publicly show raw gameplay by just streaming it or allowing testers to stream it

I'm also curious if testers will get an early access copy for free, but I wouldn't expect them to

You'd have to vet things so that only testers that actually tested the game and reported bugs got a copy, that way everyone who just played it casually doesn't get a copy

and that'd be a lot of work

anyway, holy shit the last trailer was 4 months ago

time flies

[cloud idol]

another trailer? DROP THE GAME

[tall plume]

it will drop when it's ready

[cloud idol]

this game is like playboi cartis album

[forest rain]

You'll be thankful waiting for a better game than rushing the release
Learned my lesson with Sparking Zero

[zealous lintel]

I’M GONNA DEPOSITTTTTTTT

[cloud idol]

yeah I’m alright with it

just impatient

[forest rain]

Fair

[thin zephyr]

But at least it won't be mid when it releases, like the album

[muted sorrel]

WE'RE ROGUEING OUR CORES

[tall plume]

we all are

[zealous lintel]

I could care less about waiting for the game they arent gonna disappoint

[cloud idol]

but 2024

clears whole album

[warm ingot]

ROGUE AND STONE!

[glossy heath]

I hope for a quick release, and I fully realize and understand why this is bad. But if suddenly the game is not in the best condition (closed test after all) it is not scary, thanks to the level of support that DRG has.

[keen lynx]

is rogue core a new game or an update to normal DRG?

[winter blaze]

rogue core premire on my birthday 🙏

[olive narwhal]

Pins

[keen lynx]

you could just answer the question but ok

[daring hill]

its a new game born from necessity and initial experimentation as a DRG gamemode that proved the limitations of DRG were going to be a problem

[sacred depot]

It was asked too many times

[keen lynx]

thank you

[violet tendon]

we’re discord users, not a search engine.

[stray plover]

Shaking screaming crying every time rouge core gets mentioned

[wheat pewter]

Rogued Core

[fringe narwhal]

Rogue Corn

[native monolith]

Discord users on their way to do everything except check pins

[last yarrow]

[Principal Skinner out of touch meme]
Discord developers: Are the discord pins too out of the way for 90% of users to realize they exist? No, it's the users fault

[native monolith]

Maybe I’m unique but in a channel I don’t know I instantly look to pins

[flat geyser]

pins are full of nonsense

look at this

[olive narwhal]

Wouldn't say its full of nonsense

[flat geyser]

yeah look like its not

[last yarrow]

Looking forward to the trailer :)

[thin spire]

NEW ROGUE CORE TRAILER

[native monolith]

It’s a mix of memes and info, but it’s not even like 30+ messages, it doesn’t take that long to look through

[native monolith]

I’m so excited

[tall plume]

there's like

one meme

which isn't even a meme

[native monolith]

Yeah I think that’s also the only one

French rogue core cannot hurt you it’s not real

Most of it is dev comments

Which is pretty important stuff

Then the streams

And like every source of info we’ve ever had

So pretty major stuff id say

[thin spire]

I am too, I'm intrigued too since it'll look more developed and I'm excited to see that.

[normal perch]

I hope we get a release date for the closed alpha when the trailer drops

[native monolith]

It’s decently likely

Do note it’s closed though

[normal perch]

I wonder what the sign up process will be like to get in

[olive hound]

"How much did you tip Lloyd?"

[tacit robin]

sike! the game will be roguelike deckbuilder

[native monolith]

I spent 20 straight minutes tipping him

Llyod has enough money to retire

[flat geyser]

i was new to this channel

looks like new game

[native monolith]

Yup

Roguelike drg

You could even call it a rougelike

[vagrant current]

rogue core

[chrome sundial]

Do you guys think rogue core alpha release date with the trailer?

[mossy ruin]

no chance

because the alpha is supposed to be open (at least partially)

so we would have heard about that

[native monolith]

Well… it wouldn’t really be a release date

We might get news on it but we already know it’s happening soon

[last yarrow]

<@&296918282403840000> explode them

[hexed dragon]

is roguecore gonna be a roguelite version of drg

[last yarrow]

That's the basics of it yeah? check out the steam page https://store.steampowered.com/app/2605790/Deep_Rock_Galactic_Rogue_Core/

who knows what significant differences there will be until it's closer to release :)

[pseudo pumice]

when rogue core

[orchid temple]

Is this game out on ps

[raven wharf]

Pinned messages.

[orchid temple]

I just binge read no sign of ps

Might missed cause i literally binged read though

15 on release? UwU

I dunno man i might move to pc sometime after i get ps5

And sell ps4

[long breach]

Any console release is tbd. The game isnt even in early access yet, and putting a game on console is much much harder than pc

[orchid temple]

Interestig

[stray salmon]

I’m hyped for the new trailer, anyone doin a watch party

[shut haven]

What is the best way to describe DRG: Rogue Core in its relation to Deep Rock Galactic? Standalone expansion? Spin-off?

personally leaning towards the former

[tall plume]

spin off game, details are in the pinned messages

[shut haven]

Ahh, I just don't want to give people the wrong impression about the game when I discuss it, given how DRG Survivor is already a spin off

I dunno, I feel like "standalone expansion" better conveys that it is a new, yet distinct, version of the same game

[tall plume]

eh, I don't think standalone expansion fits

[chrome sundial]

Imagine for April fools they release rogue core but as a dollar store horror game lol

[daring hill]

my own would be TF2's Mann VS Machine as it's own game, though not as drastic in change to the core game.

Mann VS Machine is what happens when you run into the exact same situation Rogue Core was in, but decide to keep it as part of the base game

rather than it's own thing

[topaz bane]

this... i feel like the definition here is "sequel". but this is not..?

[topaz bane]

will it cost money to own?

[daring hill]

well yeah, rogue core is its own game

[native monolith]

not really, its happening at the same time

technically rogue core is happening right now when you play DRG

[olive narwhal]

falls under spin off

[ocean cave]

for the reason that canonically both parties of dwarfs are exploring and fighting hoxxes at the same time, just in diffrent.. areas or like you know deeper then the normal dwarfs would go ig?

is that correct?

[long breach]

yes

[crimson tapir]

Man what I hope it launches on console same time as pc

I feel like majority of players are from gamepass maybe thas jus me tho

[long breach]

wouldnt the majority of players still be from steam?

either way, very unlikely id assume

for it launching on consoles at the same time

[crimson tapir]

Nah most are prolly on pc I assume it's been out there alot longer

[olive narwhal]

Its not EA on console is apparently a pain(as far as dev stream info goes)

[tall plume]

the majority of players are on Steam

[tall plume]

that's also correct, and only partially (I assume) because of the 2-weeks certification before updates

[graceful glade]

What's taking so long for new season?

[median sleet]

Cuz they're working on Rogue Core, check the pinned messages

[graceful glade]

Instead of supporting original DRG, they making new game?
That's sorta weird

[tall plume]

DRG is not a live service game and it's not weird for video game studios to make multiple games

[median sleet]

They supported DRG for +-5 years after its release, it makes sense they want to work on something else

Also DRG will still get a season 6, you'll just have to wait a long while

[graceful glade]

Yeh, thanks for info anyway

[glossy heath]

Maybe at the beginning of development it didn't position itself as a service game, but now, looking at the amount of content, seasons, and the constant addition of decorations for pennies, which aren't many, it has become one. A very player-friendly service game.

[violet tendon]

well.. they are putting that service on hold for now to work on a new game

[ocean cave]

i CANT WAIT

i want to play NOW

but ill just wait ig..

smhg

[burnt wolf]

what i would do to get voicelines about them in drg (unless thats already a thing, in which case you can murder me)

damn i just realized that was from over a month ago

[forest rain]

Better late than never

[stray hound]

Rogue Core tomorrow, trust

[median sleet]

They'll announce Rogue Core for the Nintendo Switch 2 at the Switch 2 Direct

[stray hound]

Silksong and Rogue Core realease at the same time in one package at the Switch 2 Direct

[stray hound]

That's a weird thing to say

But I respect your opinion

[native monolith]

The switch two direct is not gonna have any currently announced games I’m almost certain

Cuz everything on switch one is playable on two and is if it’s on switch one (like silksong) announcing it for the switch two specific direct seems odd

[native monolith]

DRG had enough free content that they could have probably made two more games in the time they spend making EPIC FREE UPDATES

And rogue core was going to be a gamemode in DRG. They had just filled DRG with so much epic free stuff that the spiderweb was too complex to accommodate basically a new game inside of it (this is also why the shooting range cannot happen).

Spaghetti code gonna be spaghetti code

[wheat pewter]

rogue core this tuesday (lol hehe (i hope nobody checks the date!))

[native monolith]

I’m always sad I can’t ever watch them live

My shatterclaw interrogation is stalled for now

[sick flower]

It was confirmed that it will be a season 6?

[native monolith]

Yes

We have like till uh, what, season 10 confirmed?

[sick flower]

Kinda curious what would they add?

[tall plume]

no

[tall plume]

yes

[native monolith]

What is it then

[tall plume]

as far as we know, only s6 is confirmed and we have 0 info about its content

everything else is just up in the air

[native monolith]

They confirmed a certain amount of seasons, no?

I just forgot the number

Not what’s in them just they’d do that many

[tall plume]

no

[native monolith]

Oh, Nevermind I guess

[median sleet]

They'll probably make seasons for as long as enough people play/ it's profitable enough. But AFAIK only s6 is confirmed

[tall plume]

yeah that's pretty much what they've been saying for the last 3 years

[shell surge]

making a whole new game in the existing game would end up with spaghetti code

They seem to be able to maintain the game pretty damn well as is.

So i don't think spaghet code is an issue rn

[median sleet]

performance has been going down every season (at least for me)

Rockpox and lithofoam will end my pc

[native monolith]

No. It is

They had to make a new game because they literally can’t make rogue core in drg

There’s too many limitations

[shell surge]

Sounds like sensible game development. They know it would be too much to maintain.

Why is it bad that it can't be and have everything

[native monolith]

It’s really good that they’re doing this

So they can make stuff they couldn’t

[shell surge]

So you're not using "spaghetti code" as an actual critique of how the game is structured, but rather just the "reason" of why it can't have RC included

[native monolith]

Yeah, it’s not a bad thing

Spaghetti code just happens

Random things block off random things

[shell surge]

I am an ex r/destinythegame subscriber

[native monolith]

And it creates a tower of cards

[shell surge]

"Spaghetti code" was always used as a complaint of why the game is constantly bugged.

To be honest, although its a little unrelated, I kind of want happens to DRG when pushed to its absolute limits, and what happens if something in the code goes horribly, horribly wrong

[native monolith]

No more fun game.

[ionic depot]

Oui

[sick flower]

Maybe we can finally use the error cubes?

[native monolith]

The code breaks in the exact way that it codes a use for error cubes

Or the game crashes everytime you open it. It’s a risk I’m worth taking

[barren stone]

I want to play rogue core

[ionic depot]

Rogue

[barren stone]

Excited for this trailer coming soon

I hope we get to see all the new classes in action

[ionic depot]

The 5new classes might be interesting

I wonder what the gorgon does

[olive narwhal]

Do they know?

[barren stone]

Yeah who the hell knows

[olive narwhal]

The gorgon has been shelved for a later rework in favour of other classes

[tall plume]

put enemies on stasis, making them invulnerable and unable to be interacted with for an extended period of time

as per one of their latest stream

[barren stone]

Oh that's cool

[tall plume]

at least, that's what it did, because it's gonna change

[barren stone]

These corespawn enemies are gonna be so cool to fight

I sense a character reveal

[median sleet]

They're adding scout!

[native monolith]

Reclaimer scout is so buff he uses his grapple to fling enemies around instead of himself

I bet this is a “reclaimer style” reveal opposed to just classes

[long breach]

Check the steam page and also the pinned messages in this channel

Or if you want like, tidbits and showcases, theres only a little bit so far in some of the rogue core related gsg streams and the newsletter

[ruby belfry]

okay thanks!!!

[native monolith]

Pins here

Pretty much all of the info we have. Then the below the decks on steam gives some more

Some questions here and there on streams but nothing revolutionary

[vital spear]

What exactly is rogue core?

[violet tendon]

check the pins

or the steam page

or just google it

[vital spear]

Omg bro wait why does it have to do this to me I wanna play it already

[violet tendon]

so do we all.

I'm still reckoning that Triple-I is also gonna be the closed alpha announcement

[native monolith]

It’s a possibility

[daring hill]

Don't know it's been posted yet, but new newsletter! with a new rogue core screenshot! (at least I think it's new.)

[native monolith]

it is new

nothing major about rogue core

think theyre saving it for the triple iii

[steel swan]

I'm hoping to save enough steam wallet funds for rogue core's early access
experimenting with the upgrades and watching the meta unfold during the ea will be cool

[glad sonnet]

Thanks!

[median sleet]

Do you think the 'droppod' in this image is the same as the one we see in the triple i trailer? the iii one looks bigger

looking at the lights I think they are

Also what does the terminal next to the loadout terminal say?

[visual latch]

Reclaimer scout's grappling hook can be used for swinging, not just pulling yourself where you point

[fringe narwhal]

Spider scout

[native monolith]

In seriousness do note that any class will be able to use the grappling hook if they keep the current system

I just hope there’s neat perks for the traversal tools that make them more interesting

Random large amounts of rogue core info these stream what the hell

Class ability jumpscare

https://youtu.be/Fk_oE3OFVp8?si=PHvs5NMhSmNmGfAT

We have the class abilities now lol

I’ll update the doc in a second

And a new weapon reveal

It was dropped on april first high effort joke possibly

[native monolith]

Guardian is on par with what I expected but spotter is a twist

[tall plume]

yes, the apple weapon

[native monolith]

Maybe but it seems really legit

[olive narwhal]

I could see some actual info hidden within the bit

[native monolith]

slicer and falconeer are exactly what they are from what we saw so I think this is real rogue core info

[cerulean shuttle]

that video looks really strange

[olive narwhal]

Maybe the april fools joke is people thinking its an april fool joke

[cerulean shuttle]

it looks nothing like what i'd expect to come from ghost ship

[olive narwhal]

It’s rogue core info hidden inside a April fools joke I’m calling it

I’m putting guardian and spotter abilities in the doc it’s legit I swear

[finite laurel]

We've already been shown the sword and the drone in the reveal stream, this is real info

[cerulean shuttle]

the developers do get a little quirky at night

[native monolith]

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking

There’s no way it’s fake because slicer and falconeer are real

[finite laurel]

At night? it's 1 pm smh

[cerulean shuttle]

i think it's pretty obvious that it's real

[native monolith]

I’ll try to ask in the stream but they’re busy memeing with the April fools joke

[finite laurel]

I like the orange gun shown in the stonewall section

[cerulean shuttle]

i think the method of presentation is the joke not the actual content

[median sleet]

It's probably legit. I heard about the weapon that shoots barriers before

[native monolith]

I think that’s guardians class ability

We did see one gun though, was like a rifle with an under barrel mag

[median sleet]

Yeah

[finite laurel]

I wanna know if the barrage infector with googly eyes and a neon squiggle is just funny imagery

[tall plume]

i think it's a promotional video for abestos apple

[median sleet]

Obviously the robot dummy implies we will get a shooting range in Rogue core

[native monolith]

It’s likely

Because of how often it’s requested in drg but it just can’t be done in drg

[finite laurel]

I'm guessing the rifle is a railgun of some kind

[median sleet]

Do you think the numbers mean anything

[tall plume]

I think it shoots apple

[finite laurel]

The little arms moving on the sides of the barrel makes me think of Cyberpunk 2077's railgun snipers

[native monolith]

“Any chance we get female dwarves?”

“Yeah next month, along with the 5th class”

Man alternate drg timeline looking amazing

[finite laurel]

Is the robot from something else? it seems to be way higher detail than the DRG artstyle

[native monolith]

I don’t recognize it

That might be a rogue core asset

[finite laurel]

The panels on the limbs are completely smooth and round where in DRG you'd normally see the edges of polygons forming that circle

[median sleet]

I don't think it's for rogue core

total different artstyle

[tall plume]

talking from style, it looks like it's from Satisfactory.
I'd assume it's just from another game or an unreal asset or something

probably a test dummy for animation ?

[median yoke]

no way we got an mini rundown on the equipments on April fools

I love it

[median sleet]

they're working on a third game and the robot is from there

[native monolith]

we now have every class ability

besides gorgon rest in peace sweet prince

[tall plume]

Gorgon my beloved 😭

[native monolith]

im betting they shelved it because spotter is stun related

and gorgon makes me think medusa

[finite laurel]

The best April Fools pranks is when we get actual announcements

[olive narwhal]

We were told what the gorgon did

[native monolith]

did landfall day start that tradition?

cuz they only do game releases on april fools

[tall plume]

from what they've said: it's been shelved because nobody liked playing with a gorgon on the team

[finite laurel]

Honestly I thought we'd see more, though since it's an alpha there could always be more added

[olive narwhal]

^^

[tall plume]

due to the stasis being hard to play around with on team

[native monolith]

ok that robot is an unreal 5 asset

[finite laurel]

In DRG I'm all for having the four classes given how that game is designed, but in RC I do hope we see more abilities added over time

These look cool ofc

[tall plume]

CALLED IT

[native monolith]

yeah; this is confirmed

with the way the class system works, making one takes the same amount of time as another

well unless its more complex

like DRG... drg it just cannot be done with the weapons and paintjobs and overclocks and literally a 1/3rd of the game getting in the way

[finite laurel]

Yeah I wouldn't want a new dwarf class either, four classes for a four-player team

[native monolith]

rogue core its uh, an ability, probably some upgrades or perks or something, and then presumably a cosmetic design and voicelines

[median sleet]

The trailer is aarons voice right?

[finite laurel]

The cosmetic part is likely just gonna be the arms and an icon I imagine

[tall plume]

yeah

[median sleet]

He should get a voice acting job atp

He did the guntouchables clips too

[tall plume]

he kinda does I guess ? He makes the VA for guntouchable IIRC

not just the trailer

if I'm not mistaken

[median sleet]

Ah I didn't even realize

[tall plume]

I could be wrong

[native monolith]

getting good screenshots with this filter on is really hard lmao

[median sleet]

oh, there's literally flashing text at the bottom of the video that says 'all props other than reclaimer gauntlets are not part of the DRG universe'

[native monolith]

oh, yeah, i see that now

dang i really looking forward to balloons in rogue core. This is terrible news

[tall plume]

are you saying the apple is not true either??? 😭

[olive narwhal]

Rip googly spoot 😔

[tall plume]

MY ABESTOS APPLE! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[finite laurel]

I was sure the drone would be my favorite of the initial abilities but the force field gauntlets might win me over ngl

It’s like a dedicated power attack

[median sleet]

same

[native monolith]

they better occasionally say FUS RO DAH

[daring hill]

IDK, it think it'd be nice to have that huge of a choice

I just really hope they don't end up fulfilling the exact same roles and jobs as DRGs classes

[tall plume]

you feel like DRG doesn't have enough choice already ?

[finite laurel]

They won’t because it’s going to be a very different game fundamentally

[daring hill]

No, but this is also not DRG

[finite laurel]

Like from what we can tell exploration will almost not at all be a factor with levels being straightforward

[daring hill]

( in reply to ser pounces question)

[native monolith]

just realized that the class names and their gauntlets are different

guardian - stonewall
falconeer - buzzard
spotter - acyronym for Special Purpose Operations Tactical Tranquilizing Enfeebling Repeater
Slicer - supernova

[tall plume]

they were talking about DRG for that

RC already have more than 4 classes planned with more confirmed

[native monolith]

well, techincally not anymore but its pretty obvious were getting more, theyve mentioned it so many times

[tall plume]

I think exploration is still going to be important

[tall plume]

Gorgon is shelved, not deleted

[native monolith]

ye

but if the game released right now wed have 4

[daring hill]

Right, i thought there were saying rogue core doesn't need more than 4 for the same reasons drg never started with more than four

[native monolith]

these are the... Core.... classes you could say

[median sleet]

I assume the below decks post will give more gauntlet info

[native monolith]

yeah i think its not gonna be a cosmetic reveal and might be about this now

[finite laurel]

I imagine the alpha will start with these four abilities (I don’t wanna call them classes because class implies a whole kit)

[native monolith]

yeah

they seem to be setting it up that way

[olive narwhal]

Feel like the below decks will be covering the reclaimers as characters

[native monolith]

i like the quaility is so you low you literally cannot see the energy barrier lmao

[median sleet]

or both

[native monolith]

mmm yes barrier

[olive narwhal]

If newsletter from before the current us anything to go by

[daring hill]

I think so too, but I don't think we'll see missable events. I reckon small scale stuff like minerals will require exploration, but anything on the level of machine events will be explicitly in your face

Basically, anything you don't do will be intentionally avoided, rather than missed due to not exploring

Which is interesting to me, they've mentioned before that all events you come across are optional, and I'm curious as to why

[median sleet]

in case you don't think you'll be able to survive

[daring hill]

Will there be situations where intentionally avoiding something beneficial would be better than engaging with it?

Beyond not being able to survive it, of course

Maybe the longer you go avoiding something, the better the reward when you actually do it?

[native monolith]

maybe. they could do it the helldivers way where you dont need to fight patrols but id guess its gonna be like drg where "stealth" is throwing a grenade at people who dont see you yet

[olive narwhal]

Pretty sure one of the devs confirmed that as such

[median sleet]

4800-399-1899-4891-191
The numbers, what do they mean?

[native monolith]

also seems like they majorly updated the falconeer model

[tall plume]

clearly this is a steam key to access the RC beta

[native monolith]

its got like a magnetic launch pad now

[deep ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/black-ops-call-of-duty-mason-hudson-punch-gif-2551379726757822096

[hollow bear]

I let the team borrow my social security number for the gag

[median sleet]

Holy shit, it works!!!

[native monolith]

It’s interesting that the slicer heats up exponite to use their ability

I’m glad we’re getting actual uses for it besides “money”, same reason I’m glad they’re expanding on morkite being alive

Obviously they’re both profitable but I want to know why

Doc is now updated

I like that Aaron made little catchphrases for them

”instead of mastering the sword, simply become the sword!”

[median yoke]

wha.
Gorgon?

[native monolith]

Shelved class

[finite laurel]

I always used to imagine Morkite as being space fossil fuel used for refining other resources, but it is neat to get some confirmed cases

Like the Tritilyte key

[native monolith]

Seems like it was too similar to spotter so they’re gonna put it on the back burner for now

[native monolith]

Regardless it’s gotta be something absolutely huge and widespread for how insane of an investment hoxxes IV is

Like space fuel

Oh wait I forgot to add the new weapon we saw

[tall plume]

yeah, the apple

[native monolith]

Yeah, gotta make sure

And then I’ll add the railgun or whatever as a footnote

But no one really cares

[violet tendon]

So… does that robot mean we get a shooting range?

[tall plume]

no

it means we're getting abestos apple

[ripe kestrel]

besides a different lore, maps, and classes whats going to be different from drg? like its going to be more rpg-like?

[tall plume]

it's going to be a co-op roguelite

[young vessel]

yeah it takes place like 50m lower than the other biomes

maybe a little more

[median sleet]

sometimes you can hear a regular DRG mission happening above you

[neat acorn]

Maybe the apple is an allegory to the planet

You eat an apple until only its core is left

Apple Core

[median sleet]

And DRG is you, the apple eater

[violet tendon]

banging on the ceiling of the cave with a broom handle to get the miners to pipe down

[neat acorn]

Yes

Fruit rock galactic

[tall plume]

Deep Root Galactic

Root Core

[median sleet]

'We're rich! we're rich!'

[violet tendon]

any Australians in chat?

[ashen condor]

I can see it now. We'll be fighting our last stand against eldritch abominations trying to eat our souls, friends dying around us... and four idiots going "Mushroom! Mush-room!" above us

[clever dove]

I hope Rogue Core isn't much more spec demanding than DRG

[tall plume]

hard to say by how much, but it will be more demanding than DRG

[ashen condor]

Does that mean we also get to be more demanding?

[brisk mantle]

I can't tell if the video is a April fool's joke or actual reclaimer shit that's in the game

[ashen condor]

Lloyd, beer! NOW!

[brisk mantle]

Shit

Degloving

[brisk mantle]

I still hope it's optimized but since it's on UE5 I do not have high hopes
